I loved everything about the property I’ll definitely be coming back really soon.
Nice hotel, great location, and well designed rooms and common area amenities. I would look to book here first before checking other hotels in the area.
Very nice hotel with quality amenities. Since it was our first stay, we were upgraded to a beautiful two bedroom with a view. Would stay again.
Gorgeous hotel - perfect stay with our teenage son looking at colleges. Walnut St Cafe was so good for dinner that we went back for breakfast (which was also great!). Beautiful gym, pool, golf simulator
Had a very nice room - but guests next door had a loud unrelenting party, and the hotel did nothing to remedy this - so I couldn't sleep! Will not be returning to this place.
A wonderful experience all around. It’s definitely a little ways away from the city center but we were able to take an Uber easily and quickly. Amazing views from the room! Nothing but good things to say about this modern sheek hotel.
Hotel was really nice and clean. One out of the three elevators were working one day, so the wait time was long since we were on the 31st floor. Also the walls are thin, I could hear conversations and movements (whenever someone would push a chair back) etc. I’m a light sleeper so that didn’t really help. But overall a very nice and comfortable hotel room. The view was awesome.
The hotel has beautiful, modern decor. There were some issues that made my stay less convenient. The staff was excellent and did their best to help address these issues. The internet for my room did not work and after 15 minutes of trouble shooting with the desk clerk, I finally ended up getting the login for a different room. The hotel rooms lighting was annoying- there were 4-5 smaller lamps and it took awhile every morning to find all of the lights to turn on and off. Finally, I wanted to check out late by 1-2 hours so I could change after my meeting. However, any late check out required 50% of the hotels room rate. In short, this is an aesthetically beautiful hotel but there are other, less expensive hotels nearby that would have made my stay more pleasant.
Amazing hotel! And a real bargain for the extraordinary room.
From the atmosphere to the pool, the hotel overall felt cold and univiting.
The hotel is very nice. We had a suite with a wonderful view of the city and everything was so comfortable. The amenities are definitely worth the price. I only wish I had booked it for longer. Note that parking is not actually on the premises but next door to the hotel. I drove around the block a few times looking for their advertised valet parking.
The room was beautiful and very clean. We had a great view and the staff was very professional and responsive.
Nothing to write. The AC need to be adjusted. Air blowing in your face
